I took a quick trip down to Jean, NV to watch two of my uncles and two of my cousins race their buggy toady. It was pretty fun, but only if you have a serious pit setup. The cars leave and the fastest car came back an hour and 45 min. later. In between its all about BBQs and Pacifico . My uncles were running a class 16 buggy and my cousins were co driving. There are five 89 miles laps in the race and they do a pit stop every lap with driver & navigator changes, repairs, and everything else. Anyways, on to the pics...

My uncle's buggy...


Class 1 buggy at the start (LS2 Powered)...


The little jump at the end of pit lane...






Random class 8 truck...


I went to go get something out of my car later on in the day and though to myslef, damn my car got dusty...


Then I realized that where I parked was about 20' from part of the course...

 

I knew about it. We paragliders can't get to our launch site when they race.

 

Did you get to drive?

 

Its not that fun as a spectator to be honest. Its cool watching everybody take off from the start, but then they disapear into the desert for 2 hours before you see them again. The pit stops are pretty cool though. Plus, I had to be there at 8am and couldn't stay all day because I had a wedding to go to.

 

No, I wish. Maybe next time I will get to sit shotgun or something.

 

You should have taken the EVO out on to the track. Desert tracking you car can be quite the experience.

 

Did you get married and not invite the club?

 

Hahaha, I bet the EVO would do really well. I did not get married, sorry to dissapoint.

 

LOL Yup the evo was made for the dirt...

Now dont be like Chris.. remember back before he left nobody knew he was married? Until he told everyone?

 

^^^Hahaha, verry true. I will not be like Cris.
